As a defender of Gangster Squad, I'll admit that there are some points when Penn seems to be acting like a five-year-old pretending to be tough. And he had one of the most quotable lines, for the wrong reasons (take a guess as to what it is).

But even with that in mind, I say wait till other movies come out. MAYBE we could squeeze him in there if necessary.

Elizabeth Hartman and Judith Barsi are more talented and beautiful than Scarlett Johansson and Chloe Grace Moretz. Fact.

Penn's performance has gotten the same reception as Tommy Lee Jones in BATMAN FOREVER* and Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron in the SNOW WHITE movies (to name a few): They're so over-the-top but in the limits of "hamming it up" and "chewing scenery" that the people are split 50/50.

*My review of the whole franchise is coming this weekened.

Well, I was having a hard time trying to stay awake. The only line I can think of was one he said in front of a Christmas tree (Peter Travers said it was a rip-off of SCARFACE's "Say "Hello" to my little friend!"). Is that the one?

Since it didn't get a forum, and no one other than me has talked about it, I don't think he'll make it to the ballots. Not even the forum polls.

Me and my sister basically never go to the movies. Today we're going to see one of the new releases here: AMOUR (I never thought she'd go for a movie like that). Meanwhile, the other new releases are BEAUTIFUL CREATURES and CLOUD ATLAS. What should I do (starting tomorrow)?

I've heard of trailers spoiling the obviously best scenes from the movie, but this is ridiculous!

With just 14 hours until release, 21 and Over is now losing 7 to 15 on the Tomatometer, with a 35% review average at Metacritic. If the reviews stay down, I want a reply from HeadRAZZ on whether he intends to start a forum for it.

Beautiful Creatures and Cloud Atlas are both average, and I don't think you should see either of them.

I'm fairly sure Dead Man Down will get panned by critics next weekend, but any guesses as to how Oz: The Great and Powerful will do?

I'm thinking there'll be another week with 3 Worst New Movies of the Weak in the last 3 days before April. I agree that The Host will probably get panned, and that GI Joe: Retaliation, sequel to a 2009 Worst Picture finalist, will probably get almost as bad reviews as The Host. But I wonder if the next Tyler Perry film will get as bad of reviews as Madea's Witness Protection. (Bottom 40 Films of 2012, #15)

I think there should be an Official Razzie Forum discussion for Safe Haven. This movie is already rotten at 13% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's highly unlikely to get any higher.

Here's my recommendations for Razzie nominations:

Worst Picture. It's totally predictable from the beginning. Even the "twist" is easy to figure out (so easy you might think M. Night Shyamalan wrote it!).

Worst Actor: Josh Duhamel. His acting is very bland. All the times he is supposed to be emotional there is very little emotion, if any, shown. Josh Duhamel has the emotional range of a wall (maybe he is related to Kristen Stewart?).

Worst Actress: Julianne Hough. Just like Duhamel her "acting" is bland and near-emotionless.

Worst Director: Lasse Hallstrom. This director has not done anything to prevent the movie from being boring. Hallstrom has constructed a flick so tiresomely boring it could cure insomnia!

FUN UPDATE from Head RAZZberry: We just posted one of the highlights of this year's 33rd RAZZIES® ceremony on YouTube: Our unique twist on that old award show chestnut "In Memoriam." Here's the LINK to watch it...ENJOY!

My reaction after watching this was a simple L.O.L.

Safe Haven definitely deserves a n Official Forum of its own!

Well, it's too late to create one. That doesn't mean it won't be nominated. I'd like to think that the hatred towards the twist ending (I don't know what it is because I haven't seen it but the majority said it was dumb) will give it more odds. Nicholas Sparks movies are long overdue for a Razzie, and maybe this will finally be the year.

I posted my new review on some forums. I'd like to remind you all that if you don't wanna watch the video, you can always click on the link in my signature so you can read the review. And that applies to every new review every week.

I'd agree with most of Oiram's pre-1980 Worst Picture "winners," except Jesus Christ Superstar. Public opinion was by far the best out of those 10. But I'd emphatically agree with Myra Breckenridge, Exorcist II: The Heretic, and Caligula. As for Sextette, I don't know if I Spit on Your Grave was released theatrically in Los Angeles or New York that year (1978), but the reaction to that was neck-and-neck with Sextette. The public was arguably even more outraged when they found out about I Spit on Your Grave.

If you've read The Official Razzie Movie Guide, you could've and should've taken some cues from the movies described in the book. Were any of the critically-panned movies released in 1973, and could've replaced Jesus Christ Superstar as your Worst Picture winner?

Jack the Giant Slayer had a worse opening day than John Carter. According to Box Office Mojo, it might not even make $24 Mio over the weekend, on a budget of $195 Mio. I'm going to see the movie tomorrow, but have to admit, the CGI doesn't look the best and the giants' looks are putting me off.
